NEW YORK, Dec 3l.-Statistics of the

by the mercantile agency of X. u. Dun x
Co. up to noon to-day show a slight falling
of as compared with 1850. The number of
business failures in the United states is
1884 AS compared with 1861 in the year
1850, n decrease OF SOB failures. The total
liabilities of the failures of 1856 are Sll4,-
100000 as compared with SPA 900, 900 In
1855, decrease of slO,OOO,OOO. The fail
ures seem recently to have been unusually
numerous and the figures for the last
quarters of 1856 show that in number they
reach 2146 as against 2460 in the last quar-
ter of 1885.
Rarely has year opened with greater
advertisement than the year 1856 Rare
~ has year closed with more confidence.
During the past month the failures have
been unusual in the amount of liabilities

them. They come like "bolts out of the

pected expansion of credits When it is
remembered that familiar causes of such
expansion have existed, that the curren-
cy has been largely increased and that
Wild speculation ran riot month ago in
the stock and produce markets, these fail
ures with their rising volume of indebted
ness justify the fears that confidence has
grown too fast. The natural inference is
that some firms, ANXIOUS to recover III Il

have gone beyond their depth. How much
of unsoundness in commercial credits has
thus been produced, 1t is not yet possible
